It did restart itself after about 15 minutes. I thought that something had gone wrong but it resumed installation with no action required from me. My Imac had 428.85 GB free before installation. After installation I have 470.67. i believe the reason for this much memory is because all the previous updates are now gone. That must have freed quite a bit of space. I will keep a log of any glitches.Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317262874071287753.post-66136847578804245332009-08-28T16:54:18.000-07:002009-08-28T16:54:18.000-07:00is the same process if i have tiger????is the same process if i have tiger????Jomirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317262874071287753.post-46663272912504194312009-08-28T16:57:41.000-07:002009-08-28T16:57:41.000-07:00There&#39;s an installation guide (PDF) that comes...There&#39;s an installation guide (PDF) that comes with the Snow Leopard DVD.

Verify Disk Permissions.<br>2. Repair Disk Permissions (if there were errors).<br>3. Verify Disk.<br>4. Repair Disk (if there were errors).<br><br>There were still a 10-15 errors listed after running Repair Disk Permissions but it appeared they were for files that the Snow Leopard upgrade would be replacing so I ran the upgrade and had no problems. After the upgrade I ran another Verify Disk Permissions and there were only 2 permission problems shown. Again I ran Repair Disk Permissions and it corrected one error. The error that was not corrected appears to be some kind of system file that is really not a true error but is reported because it is not in its expected default state which would only exit if the system were not being used.<br><br>Also definitely do some kind of backup before the upgrade. I use Time Machine but I still did a SuperDuper backup. This backup is bootable (I definitely tested it before the upgrade) so that if the upgrade had failed I could boot my system from the backup. There are other products that can create this kind of backup (Carbon Copy Cloner for one) but I was already use SuperDuper so that&#39;s why I used it. Yes I am a little paranoid about backups.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317262874071287753.post-90055875634861535392009-08-30T11:50:34.000-07:002009-08-30T11:50:34.000-07:00Apple accidentally sent me two separate copies of ...Apple accidentally sent me two separate copies of snow leopard in 2 different shipping boxes.
